everybody's doing it

Seems like everyone these days has cancer. Martina Navratilova is the latest to face breast cancer. Click on this link and watch her clip with Robin Roberts (another bc survivor).

She said she cried when she found out. It's ok Martina, we all cry.

When I was going through my own biopsy last summer, actress Maura Tierney (Abby Lockhart on the show ER) had just been diagnosed with breast cancer and was undergoing surgery. She was supposed to be on the new show Parenthood but dropped out to deal with cancer. She just announced that she is returning to work on the show Rescue Me. You go girl
